Ferric Ammonium Oxalate 3-hydrate is used in surface treatment applications for coloring aluminum. It enables the formation of stable, decorative, and corrosion-resistant finishes by promoting uniform color development on aluminum surfaces. This makes it especially valuable in architectural and industrial applications where both aesthetics and durability are important. Its reliable performance ensures consistent and high-quality surface results.
Lohtragon® O20 provides iron and ammonium for use in specialized crop care and plant nutrition formulations. Iron is essential for chlorophyll formation and metabolic activity, while ammonium contributes to nitrogen supply and plant growth. The Oxalate complex stabilizes iron(III) in aqueous systems and supports its controlled availability in solution-based formulations.
Key benefits of Ferric Ammonium Oxalate 3-hydrate in Plant Nutrition:
Lohtragon® O20 is used in classical photochemical and light-based imaging processes. The Iron(III) Oxalate complex reacts under UV exposure, enabling controlled reduction reactions that are required for image formation. Its defined composition ensures reproducible performance and consistent reaction behavior.
